How to Sell Your Luxury Chicagoland Home for Top Dollar in 2016

Today we are excited to talk about luxury real estate here in the Chicagoland area. The new year is off to a great start after a strong finish to 2015. Last year, home prices in Chicagoland went up 3.5% overall, but for properties listed over $1 million, prices only went up 2%. There are months, and in some markets, years, of inventory available right now.

It’s important to do your due diligence when you’re thinking about selling your luxury home. Hire a marketer, someone who’s aggressive, and thinks outside the box. We have done the research on every sale in the Chicagoland market over the last year and we know exactly what goes into these home’s sale prices. We have laid it all out in one document, and would love to show you.

We take a comprehensive approach, which is outlined in detail in our book “Marketing Luxury.” If you’re thinking of selling this year in Chicagoland, there is nothing worse than not getting a 2nd opinion. If you're house is sitting on the market, and the default answer has been to reduce your price, we can help you out. Give us a call or send us an email, and we’ll talk to you soon!
